No more than six tee times are reserved for this competition and it may be adjusted down and up based on participation trends. No Dog Fight competition will be held on a day when another tournament or event is scheduled.
2. All participants will be accepted on a first come first served basis. Your entry into the Dog Fight is secured when you are on site and have paid your entry fee. No places will be held for players who phone in. Entry into the competition is cutoff when the available times are exhausted or the particular tee time has past.
3. Times not utilized by the competition will be returned to the golf course for utilization by stand-by list players.

After the three rounds the player’s points will be adjusted according to their performance. For players with an established handicap, initial points will be established by subtracting their handicap from 36 (example: HDCP is 9: 36 – 9 = 27 points). Players without an established HDCP will project their HDCP and subtract from 36.
